Delia Smith - Oatmeal cookies

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup butter
4 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp hot curry powder
1 tbsp milk

Preheat oven to 350.
Mix all the ingredients. The mixture is quite dry, but should still hold together when squeezed into a ball. If too dry, add another tbsp of milk.

Break the mixture up into quarter-sized balls of dough (about 1 1/2 tbsp per cookie). Flatten them to about 1/4" inch thick, (or until the cookie is about 1 1/2" in diameter). Place them on the cookie sheet as close together as you like - they don't spread or flatten out while baking.

Bake for 15-20 mins.

Best eaten with a nice sharp cheese, especially Stilton.

Delia Smith - "Oatmeal Crack"

1 cup steel-cut oatmeal
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter

Pre-heat oven to 375.
Mix all the dry ingredients. Melt the butter in the microwave - about 50 seconds.
Pour the butter in with the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Press the mixture evenly into a large cookie sheet pan, and bake for approx 15 mins.

Let it cool a little to a soft toffee consistency before trying to cut it.
Cut it into squares but leave them in the pan. When it has cooled enough that the squares don't fall apart, remove them from the pan to let them cool fully.

Delia Smith - Yorkshire Pudding

2 cups flour
9 oz milk
6 oz water
3 egg
Salt & pepper (optional)
Oil

Put enough oil into the cups of a 12-cup muffin pan to cover the bottom of each cup. Set oven to broil with the muffin pan in there. Mix the liquid ingredients. Put the flour into a bowl and mix all the liquid to make a smooth batter.

Remove pan from oven and close the oven door. Pour the mixture evenly into the cups and return the pan to the oven.

Cook on broil for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 400. Bake for another 40 minutes, watching to ensure they don't overcook.
